Actually, I think MOST people would agree to a pay cut rather than losing their jobs completely. If you're making $15 an hour, $12 an hour is a whole lot better than nothing.
It amazes me that so many workers think they can play tough with employers these days. Surely they must realize how many, many people would love to have their jobs -- even at less money. 2|1|I am AMAZED that any union would put their people in this position.Even the auto workers are agreeing to pay cuts just to keep their companies open and their people working|suezz|clearys@comcast.net|08:33:09|05/28/2009|

My hubby's union hall was in the same spot in March but the employers ended up agreeing with the terms and accepted the 2% pay raise that he got. Hoping all works out in the end for your family. 5|4|Hey, OT..sorry...you are just north of me! :)|saint6811|waylan@comcast.net|17:46:46|05/28/2009|
